While trying to find a replacement car on autotrader, i stumbled on this. Anyone know who would have done the conversion? Don't RUF do them?
Anyone come across one before? 430bhp

Could be any of the big Gemran tuners (Ruf, Gemballa, Techart...) or indeed one of the UK ones. I would certainly want to know who did the work before considering buying it though. With the engine being a 3.4 litre, I would guess it is based on the Carrera2/4 engine of the period (1999). As well as bolting on turbos I would want to know what engine mods had been done internally to cope with the turbos. Together with gear box mods etc.

This is unlikely to be a 'big name' conversion, so get a specialist who knows his porkers to check it over nut by nut and bolt by bolt. If it has been put together properly it will be quite a machine, but make sure brakes and handling can cope. Apparently the chassis starts to struggle at about 350bhp without extra mods.

TTP here in Germany do a well reported conversion-either 420 or 450bhp version if I remember correctly.
I have their brochures as I considered one before deciding to stay with TVR-(Tamora and now T350T Red Rose on order).
TTPs version was also 3.4 litre based on Boxster S 3.2 litre lump.
Cost in 2002 was car plus ca. 30,000EUROs (20,000quid) for the full house version with uprated brakes additional intercooler etc.
Test in Sport Auto was very very positive-if I rember correctly o-60 in 4.5sec o-100mph in under 10 secs. Top speed 180mph

Just found out, it is a TTP conversion

If anyone wants a TTP conversion doing in the UK we would only be too happy to oblige.

Any idea of a ballpark figure. I have considered keeping my current cart indefinitely. If I do once its warranty has expired I might well consider some power modifications...that's a year away so stop rubbing yer hands together...
